Abstract

The field of communication is built from research into processes, in which the beginning and end do not exactly coincide with the temporality of the things researched. Based on this premise, we revisit Deleuzian-inspired cartography, whose objective is to follow processes, and the Latourian-inspired cartography of controversies, in which the objective is to make associations between humans and non-humans visible. Inspired by these two approaches and based on the transpecific communication model of Yanomami shamans, described in Amerindian perspectivism, we propose a cartography of equivocations, whose objective is to identify the translation points of difference in a less reductive way. The proposal takes into account the challenges of communication to come in processes in which it is increasingly difficult to establish the beginning and end.
